You mention duck pate-I seriously suggest you look at one of the many websites that explain the extreme cruelty that is involved in producing said pate. The birds are kept in dark, crowded surroundings and several times a day someone literally stuffs a tube down their throats and they are force-fed like this for about a month until their livers are about 10 times their normal size. The liver is actually diseased-and you foodies call this a delicacy. Many of the ducks choke to death on their own vomit. This is a barbaric and shameful practice and cannot be defended by any decent ethical standard.
